Default Help me locate these

I am looking for smoked headlight vinyls for a 99-04 but I cant seem to find them anyway at all. Ive checked ebay and other places and just cant find them.

Also, on the headlights, im looking to get that clear corner look instead of the amber. Is that just the way some of the aftermarket headlights come? or is there something I can do or get to have the same look?

thanks for any help guys.

Thx but I was looking for vinyls and not the covers.

Also, I want the clear or sliver corner look but I wasnt looking to purchase new headlights. If thats the only way then I wont get them.

Thanks though.

blacking out headlights is kind of a dumb idea. it severely decreases the output of light so your nighttime driving is gonna suuuuuuck.

Id just go with the smoked clear corners, blacked out is stupid and looks stupid imo.

They condensate like a ****.. and mine are already getting pitted and scratchy..

im not trying to **** on your idea of blacking out your car but maybe going with a clear cornered headlight would be a better idea. the stock headlights just aren't bright to begin with.

unless you're upgrading to an HID to compensate for the loss of light output, it's going to be very dark when you're driving at night. putting a tint/blackout cover over an HID is a waste of the 150$ or whatever it is you'd pay for the HID too. this whole idea just isn't good in my mind.
